Well, modern-day fandom anyway.

When I was first getting into fandom culture, reading fic and seeking out fan art, I had no idea that it had such a rich history. Turns out fandom has been here for a long time (like... it's ANCIENT) but fandom as we know it began in the 60s and grew. And grew and grew. And I am so, so excited to see where we end up next. But in the meantime, let's celebrate a little of our history as fans!
